What Is EPIC, and How Can It Help Your Business Succeed?
One of the most exciting things to come from Inscape Publishing in recent years is not a product, but a product platform. EPIC (Electronic Profile Information Center) provides a simple way to deliver employee profiles via the internet. From your workstation PC, you can administer access codes that allow people to complete the assessments online.
Once a respondent finishes answering the questions, the resulting report goes to the respondent or to you—you decide!
What is DiSC®?
DiSC is a four-quadrant model used to explain human behavior. Although the model is extremely simple and easy to learn, it's also as complex and varied as we are as humans. Using the model to understand yourself and others and developing the skills to adapt your behavior can greatly improve communications and performance, leading to greater personal and professional success.
DiSC provides a nonjudgmental language for exploring behavioral issues across four primary dimensions:
- Dominance: Direct and Decisive
- Influence: Optimistic and Outgoing
- Steadiness: Sympathetic and Cooperative
- Conscientiousness: Concerned and Correct
Why use DiSC?
With 30 years of proven reliability and over 40 million users, DiSC Classic remains the most trusted learning instrument in the industry. It is used worldwide in dozens of training and coaching applications, including organizational development and performance improvement.
Some of the most well-known and success-building reports that can be run from the EPIC platform include:
